Phillip Brown, Public Service Commission

Phillip Brown, chairman of the Alabama Minority GOP, is running for a spot on the state's Public Service Commission, which oversees utility rates. “I believe I will be a strong conservative voice for the rate payer in Alabama,” he said when he announced his candidacy. “Alabamians need someone to be a voice for them, not the environmental or Montgomery special interests.” This is the first political race for Brown, who is an automotive technology teacher for the Jefferson County school system.
